 **All MA AFCC members are encouraged to join our Listserv.


A listserv, also known as an electronic mailing list, is an email-based mailing list of people who belong to a certain group or organization.  Just as in a written mailing list, a listserv can be used to send messages to a number of people at one time. Once you sign up as a member of a listserv, you will receive emails from other members about topics of interest, and you may choose to respond to these emails either publicly (as a response to the entire list) or privately (to an individual’s email address).  Listservs have become a popular way to create dialogue, seek information, share ideas, publicize events, debate issues and find experts.


As an AFCC member, you can join the listserv by sending an email to:

<maafcc-subscribe@yahoogroups.com>.


Once the Listserv committee verifies your membership, you will be able to use the Listserv, send and receive emails. 


A few items to note about using a Listserv,


If you are responding to an email you received from the listserv, please be aware that simply pushing the “reply” button defaults to “reply all.” In other words, your response will automatically be sent to every participant on the listserv. If you would like to respond to a single individual, you must type in that individual’s email address.

 

If you are concerned about receiving too many emails, you can sign up for subscriptions in a “digest” format. You can choose to receive a single email message each day, to receive only special notices, or to check your messages on a website rather than receiving email.  Instructions will also be made available for these options. 

 

Use a clear, specific subject heading that identifies the topic of your email, and sign your name to all correspondence.

 

It is our hope that the Listserv will create an additional way for members to communicate, share information and find value in MA AFCC Membership.

 

If you have questions, please contact a member of the Listserv Committee:  Josh Hoch, jhoch@mwi.org, or Kathleen Townsend, kathleen@divmedgroup.com.
